I'm by no means an expert on that topic, but expected to see Stuart Yeates' edits creating the other article (I think it was Stuart, at least; obviously, I can't go back and check).

Speedy deletion nomination of Government of France (disambiguation)

A tag has been placed on Government of France (disambiguation) requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Deletion of Andy Hill (Film Music Supervisor)

While I would never propose LinkedIn as a reliable source, I found this which mentions both his Elmo in Grouchland work, as well as his novel writing. Also, the photos in each article were obviously of the same guy. This might just be mirroring Wikipedia content without attribution, so I wouldn't use it as a source, but it seems to reflect that the guy wears mutiple hats. The AW Hill article and at least one of the duplicate articles contained external links to the same official website, which mentions Belgium (Brussels). His Twitter account says that he's a composer and author. Pretty sure it's the same dude. Cyphoidbomb (talk) 00:02, 12 January 2015 (UTC)

You may have deleted this template by mistake. Pigsonthewing has tagged it CSD-G4, but he created the page as a redirect. I repurposed it into a working template, in accordance with Wikipedia:Deletion review/Log/2015 January 10#Template:Sectionlink, because it adds functionality was overlooked in its deletion debate (Wikipedia:Templates for discussion/Log/2014 November 27#Template:Sectionlink). Pigsonthewing has readded the CSD template twice after I declined it on those grounds, and minutes after his last revert, you deleted it. If you checked the history, I'm sure you would have declined as well. Can you please restore the template? It has already been used, and those transclusions are now broken.

Naturalopy

Hello,

You deleted the "Naturalopy" article 20 minutes into its first draft. I have no qualms about your editorial decision. However, since you have removed the article, please remove all references to "Naturalopy" from Wikipedia. I have 21 books on iTunes and Google Play (google: naturalopy) on the subject. I also own the trademark.

Thank-you. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Trungedm (talk • contribs) 20:14, 20 January 2015 (UTC)

I’ve consulted with an attorney and here is the gist of what she said:

1. This is a clear case of cybersquatting or misuse of a trademark.

Using a domain name or trademark with bad faith intent to profit from the goodwill of a trademark belonging to someone else. There is nothing on the page that assists users about the subject, good or bad.

Any future economic loss or loss of goodwill can be attributed to the Anthony Appleyard and Deunanknute and the Wikipedia Foundation. This could be significant since the link is #1 on Bing and #3 on Google.

2. Clear failure of editorial duty by Anthony Appleyard and Deunanknute to review the work in question. It took them 20 minutes to mark the file for deletion. Moreover, no citation, references, or links to support their G3 reason. Just repetitively quoting the G3 criteria.

3. Baiting. Luring users into a page without information about the subject, causing loss of goodwill, time, and confusion to the user.

These are two viable options:

1. Remove all references of “Naturalopy” from Wikipedia so search engines can no longer link to it.

2. Leave the page up, but provide proper critique of the work citing sources, references, and other material, per Wikipedia’s editorial guidelines. If you think the work is garbage, that is perfectly fine. Provide reasons as to why you think so, per Wikipedia’s guidelines.

3. Do nothing. I have always donated to wikipedia in the past when asked, but no more. Furthermore, I will encourage everyone I know through social media and website to never donate to Wikipedia again. When this influence reaches 10,000 or more, I will let your superiors know about it.

Best regards.

Hi Anthony Appleyard,

Could you move World Congress of Esperanto to Universal Congress of Esperanto?

There is also an unaddressed request on the talk page for the same move. Thanks!

By the Throat

Anthony, I've got another fun one for you. By the Throat (Eyedea & Abilities album) was an article about an album by Eyedea & Abilities from 2009 until December 2013. It was then copy/paste moved to By the Throat, which was a disambiguation page (there's also an album of the same name by Ben Frost, along with a few songs of the same name (no links)). A month later, the (disambiguation) redirect was turned into a disambiguation page, since the base title had the E&A album at it.

Yesterday, the Eyedea & Abilities album at By the Throat was moved to By the Throat (Eyedea and Abilities album), and the base title By the Throat was turned into a second disambiguation page (By the Throat (disambiguation) was still a disambiguation page). Today I redirected the (disambiguation) title to the base title before I researched this.

My reason for bringing this to you is that there probably should be a history merge of some type (I'm not sure exactly how it would go). My take is that the end result should have the Eyedea & Abilities album at By the Throat (Eyedea & Abilities album) (since that matches the actual name of the band), have By the Throat (Eyedea and Abilities album) redirect to By the Throat (Eyedea & Abilities album) (or delete it) and leave the disambiguation page at By the Throat, with a redirect to it at By the Throat (disambiguation). -Niceguyedc Go Huskies! 09:00, 5 February 2015 (UTC)

Excellent. What about the Talk:2014 Odessa clashes edit history? It seems that that should be attached to the old article, 2 May 2014 Odessa clashes, as well. That stuff isn't about the new article, but about the old article. RGloucester — ☎ 18:33, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

Actually, I did request the logs to be moved to "May 2014 Odessa clashes" because extra precision is discouraged. Sole oppose wanted "2" to stay; many at RM wanted removal of "2". --George Ho (talk) 23:14, 7 February 2015 (UTC)

That's for a different article. The precision is not "extra". It is the long-standing title, and it is only about clashes on 2 May. ~ RGloucester — ☎
Could you at least revamp the article then to be about the month's clashes? Also, you can propose renaming 2014 NYPD officer killings if you wish, but that would lead to nowhere. George Ho (talk) 23:37, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
I don't deal with American articles. They are distasteful. I'd delete that article on the spot. A summary execution. I shan't expand the article. It must retain the present title, as it has done, and always will do. For eternity, it is the article about the 2 May clashes, not about the non-existent "May clashes". RGloucester — ☎ 23:49, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
Existent or not, the accurate title should not be too precise. Voters said so in RM, even when they weren't aware of December bombings. --George Ho (talk) 23:55, 7 February 2015 (UTC)
What is "too precise"? I'm sorry, but in normal English speech, when an event is limited to one day, we refer to it by that day. When we write letters, we write the date at the top, including the day. We do not write "May 2014" at the top of letter sent on "2nd of May 2014". It just doesn't make sense. It is non-standard, imprecise, and often wrong. It does not define the scope of the article. RGloucester — ☎ 00:04, 8 February 2015 (UTC)

Hello Anthony Appleyard. I'm curious as to why you deleted the page Sphere 3D [3] and marked it as "does not credibly indicate the importance or significance of the subject." I have no dog in this fight, but I think this is a huge mistake.

Sphere 3D competes with Citrix, EMC, VMware and several others in the Information Storage and Virtualization sectors - all of which have Wikipedia pages.

Sphere 3D recently purchased Overland Storage (this page even has a link to the deleted Sphere 3D page) and Tandberg Data.

While I understand why you did the move to the "old version" title, Is there any reason why these redirects were moved? Shouldn't they be deleted? They don't even have an edit history. In addition, it appears as if Talk:Gravity (old version)/Archive 1 should be history merged with Talk:Gravity/Archive 1. Unlike the other two, this was a cut-and-paste merge to that archive. I also wonder if a history merge between the old version gravity page and the gravitation page is possible. It seems that the gravity page was previously text merged into the gravitation page. Either way, I feel like this mess should be tided somewhat, as much as is possible. RGloucester — ☎ 06:13, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Actually, Mr Appleyard, I think there is a history merge that is possible and should be done. I've figured out that Talk:Gravity/Old is actually the talk page of the original article Gravity (old version). The edit history of Talk:Gravity/Old is from 2004, before Talk:Gravitation (now Talk:Gravity, created with this 2005 edit) existed. I'm certain that Talk:Gravity/Old's history should be merged into Talk:Gravity, as Talk:Gravity/Archive 1 is an archive of Talk:Gravity/Old. RGloucester — ☎ 19:31, 24 February 2015 (UTC)

Hallo Anthony, the @[[User:PamD]] in your edit to Talk:Passed (band) did not create a notification for me. I think if you had used @((User|PamD)) it would have done so, or ((ping|PamD)).

I only spotted that talk page discussion because I (a) had the RM page watchlisted, (b) saw that you'd removed the proposal and another with a note "discuss 1, done 1", (c) found that N-rule had been moved so concluded that Passed (band) hadn't been moved and wasn't going to be, (d) looked at your contributions list to find that talk page.

It appears as though you moved it to Andy Hill (American music producer) with this edit, User:Steel1943 moved to Andy Hill (American composer) this edit, and User:Ghostrider51 - who is the subject of the article - moved it back to Andy Hill (American music producer) with this edit.

WILV

Hi

I see you did a histmerge of the WILV article... care to have a look at Talk:WILV#Requested move 3 March 2015?

My interest is not just in this article but in the use of callsigns as article names generally. We frequently get RMs such as this one which blatantly ignore policies and guidelines (WP:BALL in this instance for example).

The appropriate WikiProject I'm sure is doing a good (and huge) job overall, and their practices make sense mostly, and I don't want to hinder them and fall foul of WP:IAR and WP:BUREAUCRACY. But... well, I think there's room for improvement and I'm not quite sure how to help.

There's been some discussion already, see Talk:WBRN-FM#Move closure for example (but warning.... long discussion with long posts). Andrewa (talk) 07:19, 11 March 2015 (UTC)

Rain in England

Hi - the request was to revert an undiscussed move, per WP:BRD, and as specifically allowed at WP:RM. If the original mover wants to start an RM, that's up to them, but it should be moved to its original title in the meantime. Thanks! Dohn joe (talk) 22:27, 12 March 2015 (UTC)

RM of Martial Race

Hi, how do I challenge the move of Martial Race to Martial race? The rationale was something to do with standard casing but the fact is that the article deals with an official classification and that there is a world of difference between a so-called martial race and one that was defined by the British Raj administration as a Martial Race. I am not even sure that this request was notified on the article talk page, which certainly should be a requirement given that RM is for moves that might be controversial.

I am winding down my activity on Wikipedia because of the increasing gender-based politicisation etc but if contesting this ends up as being my swansong then so be it. - Sitush (talk) 00:13, 16 March 2015 (UTC)

I Remember Mama

Hi Anthony. Any chance of you being able to move I Remember Mama (the article's film contents, at least) to I Remember Mama (film), then turning I Remember Mama into a type of disambiguation page or something, to show the links listed below? The play actually takes precedence over the film, which (the play) was adapted from the novel Mama's Bank Account. The play precedes the film by four years. So, really, the film should not even be at I Remember Mama.

Speedy deletion nomination of Dawn Porter

A tag has been placed on Dawn Porter requesting that it be speedily deleted from Wikipedia. This has been done under section G6 of the criteria for speedy deletion, because it is an orphaned disambiguation page which either

  • disambiguates two or fewer extant Wikipedia pages and whose title ends in "(disambiguation)" (i.e., there is a primary topic); or
  • disambiguates no (zero) extant Wikipedia pages, regardless of its title.

Under the criteria for speedy deletion, such pages may be deleted at any time. Please see the disambiguation page guidelines for more information.

If you think this page should not be deleted for this reason, you may contest the nomination by visiting the page and clicking the button labelled "Click here to contest this speedy deletion". This will give you the opportunity to explain why you believe the page should not be deleted. However, be aware that once a page is tagged for speedy deletion, it may be removed without delay. Please do not remove the speedy deletion tag from the page yourself, but do not hesitate to add information in line with Wikipedia's policies and guidelines.

Technical request timing

Hi Anthony

I don't know what the official guidelines say on this, but would it be possbile you to give technical requests at WP:RM a bit more time before effecting them? The request for Yeshivat HaKotel was put in at 15:55 and you moved it just three minutes later, at 15:58. I later moved it to contested, because it didn't seem like a clear cut case to me, but it was too late by then. Number 57 has now moved it back again, so the situation is resolved for now, pending a possible full RM, but it seems like it would be better to allow some time for contests to be made. Thanks  — Amakuru (talk) 18:10, 25 March 2015 (UTC)

Teenage Time Killer

Hi, I see you moved this page after a new user requested it at RM as uncontroversial. However, I think it should be moved back to its previous title (Killer rather than Killers), because most of the cited sources refer to it in the singular, not plural. See here, here, and here for some examples. Everymorning talk 01:54, 26 March 2015 (UTC)

Assistance at RM/TR

That's unacceptable. The burden is on the person who made the change, and purposely prevented a revert. The burden is not on me, who wants to maintain the status quo. The reverts need to be carried out. Each case is individual. There is no room for mass changes here. RGloucester — ☎ 06:23, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
On a further note, I would've been content to do the reverts myself. The only thing preventing me from doing so is the modification of the redirects. I'm sorry that I'm asking you to go through ten moves. Your work is always appreciated, as it is an area that others don't often touch. Nevertheless, the reverts must be carried out. No evidence was provided at all for moving these articles away from their longstanding titles, and only evidence in RS determines capitalisation on Wikipedia per MOS:CAPS. There was no consensus for the moves. There is no way that it is acceptable for a user to make mass changes, prevent reverts, and then make the situation a fait accompli. That would set a horrible precedent. This fait accompli-style change cannot be allowed to occur. The burden to provide evidence is on Dicklyon. He must attain consensus in an RM. Until then, these moves must be treated like any other bold move, and reverted. RGloucester — ☎ 06:33, 27 March 2015 (UTC)
What Wikimandia says or does not say is immaterial. His arguments centre on whether the move was "correct", even though his arguments fail completely in that regard. This has nothing to do with whether it is correct or not. It has to do with Wikipedia processes and consensus. This is very simple. The moves MUST be reverted, so that they can be discussed. They are contested. Bold moves are subject to WP:BRD and WP:CONSENSUS. The burden is on the person making the change to attain consensus. There isn't any consensus, because there was no discussion prior. I cannot believe that this travesty is lingering because of the protestations of someone who clearly hasn't read any of the policies in questions. Do not allow spanners to be thrown in the works. In fact, the redirect modification was itself a spanner of this sort. The reverts must take place. If Wikimandia or Dicklyon want to change the longstanding titles of these articles, they can do so through an RM where they provide evidence and attain consensus, as is specified by our policies. RGloucester — ☎ 06:46, 27 March 2015 (UTC)

Surface 3 / Surface Pro 3

I noticed that you recently moved Microsoft Surface 3 -> Surface 3 and Microsoft Surface Pro 3 -> Surface Pro 3 per RM/TR request by User:TranslucentCloud. While I think that those should be the names of the articles. Both had active RM discussions ( with at least 1 initial oppose even though switching towards support ) so was a bit surprised to see the pages moved before the RMs finished. It looks like TranslucentCloud's request was based on a separate discussion at Talk:Microsoft Surface. PaleAqua (talk) 16:13, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

My request was actually based on the recent moves of the majority of Surface-series articles moves, the discussion in Talk:Microsoft Surface makes little sense. And the opposition to move is not really strong, since the Surface brand itself now is very recognizable. You feel free to start a new discussion for moving of all of the articles back. TranslucentCloud (talk) 16:19, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
I actually agree with the moves, just surprised that they were done as RM/TR while there was an open RM. PaleAqua (talk) 16:26, 2 April 2015 (UTC)
I agree with PaleAqua, while in this case subverting process is probably inconsequential, in the next case it might not be. We should not allow for bad precedents like this. --В²C ☎ 18:36, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Perhaps you're not aware that you moved Microsoft Surface 3 to Surface 3 while there was an open/ongoing RM discussion about that.

While it's true that no one is opposing it, it has been open for only a couple of days so far. After your move, the nom closed the discussion, but really I don't think we should be moving and closing proposals like that. --В²C ☎ 18:32, 2 April 2015 (UTC)

Help Please Restore DJ Many Page!

I was not aware of this process and i would like a chance to voice my opinion on this article, the people who commented on this deletion review don't even know who dj many is.... "writing for huffington isn't exactly notable either. Sounds like a cool guy but not noteworthy." Was one of the comments made in the deletion article. how ignorant could these people be to someone who writes for the huffington post and also has tracks with Grammy Award winning artists... Even you anthony said it makes no sense that this article would even be considered for deletion, i would understand previous articles from 2011 but now dj many is becoming more prominent and should be recognized on wikipedia. Supermusicboom (talk) 16:24, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

@Supermusicboom: Of course you were aware of the process. You created the same article (DJ Many (Disc Jockey)) in December 2013, vandalized Wikipedia:Articles for deletion/DJ Many (Disc Jockey), and then recreated the article after. You're fortunate you haven't been indefinitely blocked thus far, and you're quickly heading in that direction.--Bbb23 (talk) 16:50, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

@Bbb23: I want you to honestly read the article yourself and check the news references and tell me that my article is not wikipedia worthy when dj many has numerous notable achievements such as his grammy features and writing position at the huffington post... this shouldn't be such a big debate i have scene complete stub articles just sitting around wikipedia with no reference or notability... there is a whole category for writers at the huffington post like dj many https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Category:The_Huffington_Post_writers_and_columnists Supermusicboom (talk) 16:58, 5 April 2015 (UTC)

Greenbelt "s/Station"

You just moved "Greenbelt Station" to the lowercase. You might be aware that an RM to achieve that goal was closed as "not moved" yesterday. In fact, tens of station articles that were part of that RM have been summarily moved despite a clear lack of consensus in that RM, as written by the closer. This is total failure of procedure. Please address this situation. RGloucester — ☎ 13:42, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Closer also noted that "we seem no closer to a clear consensus for any resolution". Yet there is an obvious consensus that there is a problem that needs resolution; so, yes, the process has failed. Why not follow up via the discussion link that I left there, and help to find a resolution instead of just balking? In particular, if you would reiterate the position you articulate here, that would help support the orderly resolution of this mess. Dicklyon (talk) 14:56, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Yes, I most likely support the lowercasing in this instance. I do not, however, believe that circumventing consensus in an RM is acceptable. I agree with many of your moves, but until you start to bow to consensus and Wikipedia processes, everything you do will be tainted. RGloucester — ☎ 16:48, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
I would agree. But here there was no consensus to circumvent, except the WP:USSTATION that the capitalization was circumventing. Dicklyon (talk) 17:28, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
@Dicklyon:, are you familiar with the guidance at WP:RM? The procedure is that if there is no consensus, the pages stay at their existing long term titles. So if the request is closed as no consensus, then they should not have been moved. I also suggested they should be at the lowercase titles, but I don't think they should be moved there if the move request was not closed that way. If you have new evidence, or a different way to convince those in opposition, then feel free to discuss it on the page or even start a new request, but in the mean time, please could you move them back, then we can move on from this procedural discussion and avoid a need to escalate the discussion at WP:ANI. Thanks!  — Amakuru (talk) 17:33, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
Yes, I'm familiar with the process, and how broken it became in this particular case. Have you looked at the history since the December RM and close review? Anyway, if they're to be moved back, it should be by someone who actually thinks that's an improvement, not just for pointy reasons. Dicklyon (talk) 17:57, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
@Dicklyon: Oh well, we'll just have to see what happens then. "How broken it became in this particular case" just seems to be another way of saying WP:IDONTLIKEIT. You proposed a move, some people disagreed, for what seemed like valid enough reasons, and there was no consensus. To me that did not give you a right to go ahead and move, but hey ho. Anthony, apologies for continuing this on your talk page, but this is my last comment here! Cheers  — Amakuru (talk) 20:26, 6 April 2015 (UTC)
The problem is not that I don't like it or that some people disagreed, but that the process that put them at capitalized Station in the first place was so broken, and nobody likes it, yet we can't seem to either unwind that or conform to the agreed conventions. It's like some kind of black comedy going on here. Dicklyon (talk) 23:31, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

(edit conflict) I don't know how closely you looked into this, but I'm really baffled by Epicgenius's decision to request this as "uncontroversial". It has been anything but. If there's consensus to make such moves, I say again that that's ok with me. But there's no way this should've been treated as a procedural matter. Anthony, I'm not especially upset with you, because I've made mistakes like this before as well. But this is definitely a mistake. ---BDD (talk) 15:11, 6 April 2015 (UTC)

Proposed deletion of Transtator

The article Transtator has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

No references, no evidence of notability.

While all constructive contributions to Wikipedia are appreciated, content or articles may be deleted for any of several reasons.

You may prevent the proposed deletion by removing the ((proposed deletion/dated)) notice, but please explain why in your edit summary or on the article's talk page.

Please consider improving the article to address the issues raised. Removing ((proposed deletion/dated)) will stop the proposed deletion process, but other deletion processes exist. In particular, the speedy deletion process can result in deletion without discussion, and articles for deletion allows discussion to reach consensus for deletion. —Granger (talk · contribs) 14:00, 24 May 2015 (UTC)

Mull

Hallo Anthony, and @Florian Blaschke:

The move of Mull (disambiguation) to Mull was not uncontroversial. I can find no recent discussion which supports it (only one editor opining at Talk:Isle_of_Mull#Name_of_article.2C_again), and the page was moved after full discussion in 2010. The long-standing situation has been that the island article was at Isle of Mull and the base name Mull was a redirect to that article. This is a perfectly normal situation where it is agreed that (a) the correct title for the island article is "Isle of Mull" and also (b) that this island is the primary topic for the word "Mull". The dab page was incorrectly formatted, as it did not reflect that the island was recognised as the primary topic, although the name of the dab page recognised that there was a primary topic out there. The comments at Talk:Isle of Mull don't seem to recognise that these are two different decisions.

Please revert this move as it was incorrectly assertd to be uncontroversial.

If the multipage move (dab page to Mull (disambiguation) and island article to Mull) is ever proposed again it should be done as a formal multi-page potentially controversial WP:RM and notified on the talk pages of those two and also Isle of Mull. Thanks. PamD 08:29, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

  1. April 2010: Page moved from Mull to Mull (disambiguation), leaving "Mull" as a redirect to Isle of Mull.
  2. May 2010: a proposal which was closed as "No Consensus" to move Isle of Mull to Mull. PamD 08:49, 25 May 2015 (UTC)
Thanks. I've reinstated the redirect at Mull and belatedly formatted the dab page to reflect existence of primary topic. PamD 14:34, 25 May 2015 (UTC)

Thapki Pyar Ki

  • Thanks for the help Anthony Appleyard, slight issue still remains. Actual name of the serial is Thapki Pyar Ki (with one "a" less). Hence the content and the entire history needs to be in this page and the existing name should point to this one. Can this be done without much trouble? Just wondering. Cheers, Arun Kumar SINGH (Talk)

Immigrant ethnicity format for Mexico

Hi, you recently moved Venzuelan Mexican to Venezuelan immigration to Mexico- how I originally created the article. What I was wondering about is the reason behind the format "XYZ immigration to Mexico"? I'm still pretty new to Wikipedia so I'm still learning- I've been slowly creating articles to get rid of the red links in the "Ethnic groups in Mexico" template. However, I don't know why Mexico was singled out. Why is it English Argentine, Japanese Australian, German Peruvian, Lebanese Brazilian, etc., but not for Mexicans?

It's not like the terms aren't used- some quick examples from Google books: Japanese Mexican, Lebanese Mexican, Chinese Mexican, German Mexican, Korean Mexican, Spanish Mexican, Irish Mexican

I also created Romani people in Mexico, but that one makes sense to me. That's the format used in the other countries and it makes sense since the Romani are nomadic people. But for the other immigrant-descended groups in Mexico, what is currently being used doesn't make sense. The majority of people that would identify with one of these groups are Mexicans by birth (for example, the 400,000 Mexicans of Lebanese descent vs 513 Lebanese immigrants) so categorizing them as immigrants is unfair.

Mission Community Church

Hi Anthony,

I was about to create an article for Mission Community Church and then noticed that you deleted an article at that title five years ago. Since 2010, the church has since grown to be a megachurch and has generated what appears to me to be a sufficient amount of news coverage to justify an article. Would you mind if I recreated the article? I can do so from scratch with new sources.

Grampian

I see you have recently moved Grampian to Grampian Region, claiming this to be an uncontroversial move. I think this should have been discussed beforehand – although the region was often informally called "Grampian Region" the formal name was I believe simply "Grampian", and this move breaks the consistency with the naming of other regions for which we have articles: Strathclyde, Tayside and so on. Can I suggest that you revert the move, and propose a move for all regions if you think they should be moved? --Deskford (talk) 10:58, 7 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks + Queries

Hi Anthony Appleyard. Thanks for your efforts regarding merging the history for my work Draft:Advaiya. I noticed a lot of changes and efforts made in doing so. Would like to thank you, and also would like to learn something about that. I din't knew that while using a sandbox, the entire efforts can be directly migrated to the actual page, i always used to copy-paste the backend code. Moving the page along with its history seems a good way, and i would like to learn how this can be done, so that i can leverage it for my upcoming work. can you provide appropriate guidance/directions from where i can know this procedure. Thanks again. Vishal0soni (talk) 05:04, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Hi Anthony Appleyard. Ok. i got the logic. But what i intend to ask is the technical steps involved in moving X to Y. What steps should i follow to move article from X to Y? Vishal0soni (talk) 13:29, 15 June 2015 (UTC)

Moving 72 subpages

Hi Anthony Appleyard. Thanks for being such a regular reviewer at WP:RFHM and at WP:RM/TR. I was wondering whether it would be possible for an admin to move the 72 non-redirect subpages of the page Wikipedia:Miscellaneous deletion to Miscellany for deletion in one go. These are listed at WP:Misplaced XfDs#Miscellaneous deletion. Note that the page actually has 114 subpages in all (including redirects). The moves are uncontroversial since Miscellaneous deletion was one of the old names for the MFD and the bringing them in to the newer baking section aids search and makes them viewable through ((Priorxfd)), which is necessary so that these old nominations don't get lost or go unaccounted for when new nominations of the involved pages are made.

I am not sure if the following method should work: First, move WP:Miscellany for deletion to WP:Miscellaneous deletion. Then, move it back along with the subpages. Moves should not be done in cases where they are obstructed due to the existence of a page at the target, of course. 103.6.158.193 (talk) 19:36, 19 June 2015 (UTC)

Thanks! Could you do the same with subpages of WP:Images and media for deletion? At least in this case, I think the method I described above would work. (Move FFD to IMFD, move back along with the subpages.) 103.6.159.66 (talk) 15:15, 26 September 2015 (UTC)

Page moves prior to establishment of consensus

Re: Cape of Good Hope (landmark)

This page was presented for RM at 15:32, 22 June

Without closing the discussion of giving explanatory comment in the TP thread you moved the page at 05:13, 23 June 2015

The result is that the RM listing reads: * (Discuss) – Cape of Good Hope → Cape of Good Hope. Without explanation I think that this has the potential to inhibit discussion. GregKaye 06:58, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

  • I don't think it's a very good idea to set a precedent that a single editor can move a page to whatever title they like, and then have other editors required to go to an RM to restore the original title. IgnorantArmies (talk) 16:01, 23 June 2015 (UTC)

Broken Redirect

Hello, I recently signed up for a wiki account and I thought I would get involved in doing something constructive like fixing broken redirects which have been bothering me for a while. I did not know what to do about numbers 1 and 2 on the list but number 3 seems like it could be fixed by someone like me with minimal experience. I see in the history of that page [8] that User:Dennis_Brown moved the page to Hashem Minaiy which was deleted by User:Bbb23 then restored by you before being deleted again by User:Graeme Bartlett. I thought I would just check with you that this info has not been removed to another location which I should redirect the broken link to before assuming that I could set about getting the broken redirect also deleted. Looking forward to a reply soon. Bulgarios (talk) 13:14, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

I should have also deleted Hashem minaiy. Does anyone here want to contest the prod for Hashem Minaiy? In which case it can be restored. However for the information of Bulgarios, I would suggest that he tags Hashem minaiy for deletion using the G8 reason. Graeme Bartlett (talk) 13:21, 26 June 2015 (UTC)
Thank you for the info User:Graeme Bartlett, and User:Anthony Appleyard. I see the broken redirect has been cleared up now too. What is a G8 reason? Bulgarios (talk) 18:47, 26 June 2015 (UTC)

uncontroversial request for category moving

Many thanks! --Neo-Jay (talk) 04:28, 28 June 2015 (UTC)

Radical right

Radical right is a disambiguation page because an editor moved the original article to Radical right (United States) and turned the original page into a disambiguation page. I do not think that disqualifies a technical move. If disambiguation is required, disambig links could be kept in the article. If an editor thinks that neither article is a primary topic, then they can argue their case while regardless of whether there is a disambig page. I do not see why it should lie to me to set up a discussion.

Also, my arguments for moving the article back were technical and if I wanted to argue in a move discussion, I would have presented arguments similar to those I made in the last move discussion.
